Extremely mediocre Mexican food. The ambiance is kinda loud, but I bet it'd be fun if you stopped for late night drinks. There are pool tables & a bar. The chips were incredibly salty and my one (1) 6" chicken taco was $4.50 and had very little flavor. Service was decent, but we did try three times to flag down the server for our bill.

Quick and tastes great. I'm not vegetarian but the Tofu taco was incredible!

DLB has been one of my go-to spots for over a decade. I will say a few years back, the food wasn't as consistent (I'm sure covid related, supply & demand of items, etc) but they're BACK and better than ever pictured below are the nachos with carnitas and they were truly delish perfectly seasoned, crispy yet moist, and just all around damn good. go check them out!!

With a couple of tweaks, this place could be perfect! Me and 1 other person went here after our original plan was ruined, and we had an overall great time. It's a small little bar, but it was also really welcoming. We went on a Sunday night, which was also karaoke night and even though the workers had to get the first song out of the way, loads of people sang!Everyone was super nice, patrons and workers! There was also such a diverse group of people, which I really appreciated, and everyone talked to everyone. As much as I loved this place, how much fun we had, and how welcoming the atmosphere was, there were some negatives.We were disappointed with the bartender that served us, i think her nane was Camilla or something similar. She welcomed us and made our first round, then walked away and didn't return. In order for my +1 to get another drink, the bartender had to basically be chased down. We didn't even place our food order with her because we struggled to get attention. We just ordered at the walk up. Then after a certain time, 10 I think, you can only order tacos. We ordered the traditional versions of our tacos and, it started off great but, the more we ate it the more bland it became. You get 3 tacos and neither of us made it through 2, plus the only sauce available was extremely spicy. We wanted a medium type sauce.Outside of those 2 minor issues, this place was great! It's definitely still worth stopping by ??

Don't Look Back is an excellent bar for multiple reasons. Reason one: Excellent food. There are no bad combinations on the tacos. I love Traditional Style with Fish or Carnitas, on flour. Reserve a pool table, it's super easy and a ton of fun. Outdoor patio is easily forgotten but an added bonus. The bar staff is always attentive and friendly. I've regularly received a "neighborhood discount" on food orders and even the occasional free slice of pie.

THE best taco spot in Richmond, no questions asked. The food options are all phenomenal - my favorites are the carnitas tacos and chicken quesadilla. The drinks are very reasonably priced and always yummy. Of course, the added entertainment through pool tables are a plus as well. The service isn't the always the friendliest, but I think that's because this is a cool guy bar and the employees try to keep that cool guy persona. All of this to say, this is my absolute favorite Richmond spot. Do yourself favor and go here.

A great taco bar! Chicken skin tacos are a must! Bartenders are great! Don’t miss out on this!
I've only ordered takeout/delivery so I can't speak to the ambiance of the inside experience. I've had the carnitas (absolutely amazing) and the fish tacos (subpar lacked flavor). The queso is overpriced for a tiny cup. Conveniently located and will likely continue to grab for a late night bite!

I’ve been here three times and the food is always good. Finally had the chance to play pool and I love how spacious it is for the pool tables. Bartender was so sweet and very fast making my drinks.

Nice quiet little taco spot with pool tables and an outside back deck.
Horrible service and average food
